"If I weren't your sister, would I even bother with you? You're so stupid. Just remember whose son you are. When you have other thoughts, take a look in the bronze mirror and see the scar on your head. When you pay your respects to Father Emperor, also look at the spot under his buttocks and tell yourself that it has nothing to do with you." The Fourth Princess's words were still cold.

She always seemed quiet and reserved, but she was never polite to her own younger brother.

"So what if I have a scar?" The Fifth Prince was furious.

"Thank yourself! If you didn't have these scars, would you still be alive? Are you stupid or just plain dumb? Don't you realize you're stupid at all? You both study, but others can grasp things in an hour, while it takes you three days. How dare you dream of becoming the crown prince? Who did Father choose as the crown prince because he's even dumber?"

The Fourth Princess continues to deliver heartbreaking blows.

"Ahhh, go away, go away!" The Fifth Prince rolled around in anger.

The Fourth Princess rolled her eyes: "You just listen to others stirring things up and then complain about this and that all day long. You're brainless. Next time someone tries to stir things up, just shove it in their face. You're a prince now, guaranteed to live a life of luxury. No emperor would dare to wrong you. You should ask them if they'll be living in the Imperial Clan Court by then."

The Fifth Prince is not leaving.

"Are you out of your mind to get angry with the Imperial Concubine?"

“She and Mother Consort are not on good terms. She bullied Mother Consort back then!” the Fifth Prince protested.

"You saw it? How old were you when your mother died? Do you know?" the Fourth Princess asked.

"Then...then even the Empress Dowager doesn't like her." The Fifth Prince protested.

"Ha! Who does Grandmother like?" the Fourth Princess retorted.

The fifth prince rolled a few more times.

"If you're going to court death, I can't stop you. But don't drag me down with you. I still want to be alright." The Fourth Princess looked at him.

"Hmph. You're just afraid of her."

"I'm more afraid of you. No matter how powerful she is, I have nothing to do with her. But if you do something stupid, I'll definitely be dragged down with you and die." The Fourth Princess spoke bluntly.

The fifth prince was furious. He couldn't win the argument with his sister, so he went to sleep in a huff.

Granny Li sighed, "The princess has it tough, and the Fifth Prince is still young. But from what I've seen, even the Imperial Concubine doesn't hold it against him."

“We don’t care now, but if Fifth Brother does something stupid, who can protect him? Father loves him now because he is weak and young. But he will grow up eventually. Father has many children, how can he only care about him? If he doesn’t learn to be more responsible and does something irreversible, who can take the blame for him?” the Fourth Princess said.

"Yes, this servant will definitely do her best to guide you in the future. To be honest, the Imperial Concubine really has nothing to do with us." Back then, she didn't pay much attention to Imperial Concubine Jing.

If we're talking about hatred, then let's hate the Empress Dowager.

Clearly, these two children didn't quite understand these complexities.

Besides, even if the fourth princess was precocious and had some sense of things, she wouldn't tell her foolish younger brother.

The Fifth Prince is now grown up, and even if he is weak, he is no longer the same as when he was a child.

He recovered in two or three days, but we need to be very careful about his diet from now on. Not only will the people who take care of him not dare to feed him anything indiscriminately, but even the people in the kitchen will not dare to feed him anything indiscriminately.

Jade Palace.

Xia Cairen was sitting when Qingzhu came in and said, "Cairen, someone from the Imperial Household Department has delivered something. Please go out and take a look."

Xia Cairen then got up and went out.

It turned out that some fabrics had been sent over, but the fabrics for the clothes to be worn at the state banquet were never distributed.

They were delivered one after another.

"These are for Consort Zhuang and Consort Xia. The Imperial Household Department is really busy, so please divide them among yourselves. Distribute them according to your preference." The eunuch from the Imperial Household Department smiled and said, "Because we were lazy, we specially sent two extra bolts. Please accept them, Consort Zhuang and Consort Xia."

Zhuang Meiren smiled and tipped the man.

The man left without waiting to receive Xia Cairen's reward.

In terms of who entered the palace first, it was naturally Consort Xia, who also had a daughter.

However, since she had neither a title nor a crime, she was not as good as Lady Zhuang.

So he conceded a point: "You can choose, Miss Zhuang."

"Since you're so kind, I won't be polite either." Zhuang Meiren chose half without hesitation, and took the two extra horses without hesitation as well.

Anyway, the reward was given by her.

The remaining colors weren't very good either, and the materials were just average.

Qingzhu was furious, but dared not argue.

Xia Cairen returned to her room and took a deep breath: "Stidy it up, and send it to the sewing shop along with the previous ones."

"Make your own clothes for underneath."

"Talented lady, you're too kind-hearted! What... what are all these things? She took all the bright and beautiful ones." Qingzhu stamped her foot.

"That's fine then."

Xia Cairen knew perfectly well that Zhuang Meiren was doing it on purpose.

Isn't this bullying?

Is it because she feels that the matter of the Second Princess filing a complaint some time ago also involved her?

"The Imperial Household Department is also overwhelmed. I've never seen anything distributed like this anywhere else," Qingzhu sighed.

Xia Cairen smiled, thinking to herself that someone had instructed her to do this. How could there be no free time at all?

However, it's unclear whether she is the Imperial Concubine or... Consort Jincong.

The Imperial Concubine had no time to deal with her.

She was arguing with her daughter.

The seventh princess was acting like a little madwoman, insisting on taking a nap with her mother. Since she wasn't studying today, Yan Nangui had someone wash her hair at noon. After all, the child was still young and couldn't be washed too often.

The mother and daughter took a bath together and washed their hair together, then let their hair dry.

While the braids were drying, the seventh princess insisted on braiding her mother's hair, but to no avail.

He changed it to tickling his mother, but that didn't work either, and he ended up being bullied by his mother instead.

The two of them played around for a while, and the Seventh Princess laughed so hard she hiccuped.

They were both exhausted from all the activity, so they each drank a large glass of water and then rolled off to sleep on the tatami mat in the outer room.

Jiangxiang fanned the two sleeping people, and only stopped when she saw their faces gradually return to normal color.

They were making quite a fuss just now, and both mother and daughter had flushed faces from the heat.

His Majesty came here after paying his respects to the Empress Dowager.

Upon entering, I saw a mother and daughter sleeping face to face.

The only strange thing was that the seventh princess's leg was propped up on the windowsill at an incredible angle.

Shu Chengfeng smiled at the mother and daughter, and poked the daughter's cheek: "Your mother is so beautiful, how come you're so ugly?"

He is now more accepting of the fact that his daughter does not resemble her mother.

Fragrance and Daphne chuckled to themselves, "The Seventh Princess is beautiful, just like His Majesty. But she's gradually developing her own style."

Upon closer inspection, however, it still follows His Majesty's style.

These two are quite amusing. The Empress believes the child resembles the father, while His Majesty used to insist the child resembled the mother.

Regardless of whose looks they take after, this child is bound to be good-looking.

Not to mention His Majesty and Empress, even the General, the late Emperor and Empress Dowager, were all handsome when they were young.

And then there was Lady Lan, who died young; she was also a beauty.
